National developer Fortis has received development approval for Crest &amp; Walker, its Newstead apartment development on Kyabra Street.

Construction by Binah is expected to commence on the 20-storey, Bureau^Proberts-designed building soon. There will be 65 two- and three-bedroom apartments on offer, starting at $1.8 million.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/crest-walker-12-kyabra-street-newstead-qld-4006">Crest &amp; Walker</a> marks the fourth active development to be delivered by Fortis in Brisbane, following River House, now nearing completion, a residential project in New Farm, and a mixed-use development in Hamilton. Several additional projects remain in the pipeline as the development manager continues to grow its footprint across South-East Queensland.

&nbsp;

Dan Boman, General Manager – Development, Queensland, said the continued expansion in Brisbane projects managed by Fortis reflects the company’s commitment to design-led development and thoughtful placemaking.

“We’re proud to be strengthening our presence in Brisbane with Crest &amp; Walker, particularly in such lifestyle destination as Newstead," Bonman says.

"Every Fortis project is shaped by its context, and we approach each one with the respect and care it deserves."

Bonman believes Crest &amp; Walker will&nbsp;attract a discerning buyer who values design, thoughtful amenity and a lifestyle that captures the best of contemporary Brisbane.

"Our focus is always on creating places that feel connected to their neighbourhood and elevate the everyday experience for residents. Newstead continues to evolve as one of Brisbane’s most sought-after urban communities, and Crest &amp; Walker reflects our ambition to contribute meaningfully to that story."

&nbsp;

The building’s design features a contemporary brick podium softened by vertical greenery, creating a distinctive architectural expression within the Newstead streetscape. Positioned between Gasworks and James Street, the project sits within one of Brisbane’s most coveted lifestyle precincts, surrounded by dining, retail and cultural destinations.

A communal rooftop will feature a sun lounge and pool, BBQ facilities and a sauna, all set against panoramic views across Newstead and the Brisbane CBD.

Slaite Projects will handle the sales campaign, which will kick off in May.

Fortis to launch Crest & Walker, Newstead following development approval

Singaporean developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/centurion-global">Centurion</a> has unveiled plans for a major mixed-use redevelopment of the former John Martin &amp; Co warehouse building on Adelaide CBD's dress circle North Terrace.

The $300 million redevelopment will comprise three towers, rising behind and above the preserved 19th-century sandstone façade. The proposal would retain and integrate the heritage-listed structure while introducing a trio of contemporary towers that combine student accommodation, residential apartments, and commercial uses.

There will be apartments to purchase, as well as a 30-storey, purpose-built&nbsp;student accommodation tower, designed to respond to growing demand for dedicated student housing in Adelaide’s CBD.&nbsp;Ground and podium levels across the development are expected to host retail, food and beverage, and entertainment uses, helping to activate the street edge and create stronger pedestrian connections between North Terrace and the nearby Rundle Mall retail precinct.

A key element of the proposal is the preservation of the site’s historic sandstone building, constructed in 1867 and designed by prominent colonial architects Edmund Wright, Edward John Woods, and Edward Hamilton. The building originally operated as a warehouse for the well-known Adelaide department store John Martin &amp; Co before the retailer closed in 1998.

&nbsp;

The site sits opposite several of Adelaide’s most significant cultural institutions, including the Art Gallery of South Australia, the South Australian Museum, the State Library, and the university precinct. Its location places it within a corridor that connects the city’s cultural, education, and retail destinations.

It is the second redevelopment proposal on North Terrace in recent months, with Palumbo Group set to redevelop the heritage-listed former Royal Hotel which has laid vacant for over a decade.

They are planning 211 apartments across two towers, just over a kilometre from Centurion's project.

Centurion plots $300m triple-tower redevelopment for heritage John Martin’s warehouse on Adelaide’s North Terrace

After laying vacant for over a decade, construction is set to begin on a major residential and mixed-use development at the heritage-listed former Royal Hotel in Kent Town.

The Royal Apartments development by South Australian developer Palumbo Group will deliver 211 new dwellings across two residential towers while preserving and restoring the iconic State Heritage-listed building at 2-8 North Terrace.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/royal-apartments-2-8-north-terrace-adelaide-sa-5000">Royal Apartments</a> will consist of a 15-level Hills Tower and a 16-level City Tower on the doorstep of the Adelaide Park Lands.

The heritage Royal Hotel building, added to the State Heritage Register in 1986, will be retained and adaptively reused as part of the development.

The development will also include ground-level retail, communal open space including a swimming pool, bicycle parking, and 235 on-site car parks.

<img alt="Royal" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c73b6752-a574-4e4a-927d-f36df076b61a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-03-09%20at%209.20.41%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=EcIGi.Z0ijVPTDkq8jSEFd2pzfw6ryRN" />

Providing housing for key workers is central to this development, with 20 percent of dwellings set aside for doctors, nurses, police officers and other essential workers at a 25 percent reduction of rental costs.

The project is being delivered by South Australian family-owned developer the Palumbo Group, who have over seen several high-quality residential and commercial developments across Adelaide.

Palumbo Group to redevelop Kent Town pub into new apartment development

Southwark Grounds will transform into a fully serviced inner-city neighbourhood, with South Australian developer&nbsp;Commercial &amp; General&nbsp;selected as the master developer to transform two-thirds of the former West End Brewery site.

The State Government will partner with South Australian developer Commercial &amp; General to deliver more than 1,000 homes alongside a supermarket, a childcare centre, an aged care facility and a vibrant hospitality and retail precinct at Adelaide’s newest suburb.

Commercial &amp; General will work with Renewal SA on adaptive reuse of the historic Walkerville Brew Tower, which will anchor the precinct’s public space with hospitality and retail uses.

The newly announced homes, services and amenities form part of the broader 1,300‑home Southwark Grounds development, expanding on five apartment and townhouse projects on the western side of the site announced last year, which will deliver approximately 300 new homes close to services and public transport.

Local development group Commercial &amp; General are known for landmark projects across Adelaide including Eighty‑Eight O’Connell in North Adelaide and WEST at West Lakes.

<img alt="Full vision for Southwark’s transformation revealed" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="94a4827e-3a6d-4228-85d4-1f209ffd0a00" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Southwark-Grounds-View-2-Artist-Impression.jpg?VersionId=UGDDpeG8RqUm46gmL9p2S3EhO9qUnlwO" />

Commercial &amp; General is now finalising partnerships with a selection of architects and consultants to progress detailed plans and product designs for the precinct. Built form will be delivered by Commercial &amp; General’s integrated building division, Tandem Building, with work expected to begin in 2027.&nbsp;It should take about a decade to deliver the precinct.

Early stages are anticipated to include significant apartment complexes, public parking and the redevelopment of the Walkerville Brew Tower.

Other key elements planned for delivery within the next five years include a vertical residential aged care facility and a purpose-built childcare centre, with a supermarket and supporting retail to follow soon after.

This large section of the precinct will deliver more than 1,000 homes across approximately a dozen apartment buildings, with opportunities for increased yield to be explored through increased height allowances enabled by the recently launched Southwark Grounds Code Amendment.

Commercial &amp; General will also deliver a dedicated 80-space short stay public car park to support anticipated visitor demand, in addition to parking provided within individual apartment developments.

More than 20 per cent of homes within the development area will be allocated to affordable sale or rental, meeting Renewal SA’s increased commitment to affordable housing across the precinct.

Apartment buildings will be framed by activated public thoroughfares and a series of new reserves to be delivered by Renewal SA across 2026 and 2027.

The public realm, which will comprise a minimum of 15 per cent of the overall precinct, will be anchored by a major civic space known as ‘Brewery Green’, connecting the Walkerville Brew Tower to the river.

A detailed masterplan of the precinct alongside product typologies are set to be released later this year.

The State Government has embarked on several strategic infill developments to deliver critical housing supply to South Australia at pace. The Government purchased the Port Road site from Lion Beer Wine &amp; Spirits Pty Ltd in 2023 after the closure of the brewery two years earlier and has since fast tracked the construction of the first homes, set for occupation by the end of this year.

Pelican Waters

The Sunshine Coast developer Henzell Property Group has sold-out its collection of terraces in its first stage of The Cove, their $200 million masterplanned community at Pelican Waters

The boutique release of just 15 townhomes and penthouse terraces, dubbed the Terrace Collection, were bought&nbsp;by owner-occupiers, predominantly those who live&nbsp;locally.

The five penthouse terraces were snapped up within a week of their release.

They are part of The Cove&#39;s first stage, Corsica Residences, which comprises 51 residences all up. There&#39;s been 39 sales so far.

Sales have been so quick Henzell have brought forward construction, which could start this month.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27849 project_image_fid=151643]

Marcus Muir, sales and marketing director at Henzell, said a number of the buyers were attracted by the premium lifestyle on offer for residents in&nbsp;The Cove.&nbsp;

&ldquo;There&rsquo;s been a strong local owner occupier trend, with 80% of buyers from Pelican Waters, and all of them have been drawn by the quality of the residences and the level of exclusive resident amenities that would be right at home in a world-class resort.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re experiencing exceptional demand across the entire Corsica Residences release which has set a remarkable early pace for our staged program to deliver The Cove&rsquo;s master plan over the next few years.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27849 project_image_fid=151642]

The Cove will home a number of luxury, resort-inspired amenities including an outdoor lagoon style pool with a swim up bar, set within a tropical landscape and reserved for the exclusive use of residents.

The Cove is the final instalment in the Pelican Waters community which the Henzell family has been developing for more than 30 years.

The master-planned community will be delivered in four stages over the next four years and when completed it will comprise a total of 220 apartments and terrace homes, a grocer and waterfront restaurant.

The five penthouse terraces were snapped up within a week of their release.

Henzell Group secure $12 million Terrace Collection sell-out at The Cove Pelican Waters

<html><body>
The local developer Henzell Property Group has sold more than 80 per cent of the first stage of Corsica Residences, part of their $200 million master-planned community on the Sunshine Coast.

The waterfront apartment and townhouse in Pelican Waters at Caloundra has seen 38 townhouses and apartments sales across the first stage, with strong demand locally as well as huge interest from interstate buyers looking to Queensland.

It was local owner-occupiers who drove the majority of sales. 

Apartments range in size from 143 sqm to 261 sqm and are priced from $625,000, with terrace homes up to 267s qm priced from $800,000.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-cove-stage-1-1-glover-place-pelican-waters"><img alt="" height="793" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/the_cove_townhouses.jpg" width="1600"></a>

Construction on the first homes is expected to commence in May this year with buyers snapping up the first stage off the back of the penthouse terrace collection sell-out late last year. 

All five of the luxury penthouse terrace collection within the first stage sold within a week since its launch to market. One of the three bedroom apartments in the penthouse collection sold to a Melbourne buyer purchasing sight unseen for $1.5 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27849]

Mclean Henzell, managing director of Henzell Property Group, said the sales achieved are reflective of the high demand for luxury new residences in Pelican Waters tailored toward downsizers.

“We have been overwhelmed with inquiry since the launch and to have sold more than 80% of apartments and terrace homes in the first stage, including the sell-out of our penthouse terrace collection, puts us way ahead of where we anticipated,” Mr Henzell said.

“The sales reflect the extremely strong underlying demand for downsizer product among a local market of buyers who have been a part of the Pelican Waters community for many years but wish to downsize. 

The Cove is the final instalment in the Pelican Waters community which the Henzell family has been developing for over 30 years. It is set to be completed in 2025.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-cove-stage-1-1-glover-place-pelican-waters"><img alt="" height="801" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/the_cove_entry.jpg" width="1200"></a>

The Cove will be developed over four stages and includes 220 apartments and terrace homes, a grocer and waterfront restaurant. O.G.E Group Architects has designed the full masterplan.

Marcus Muir, sales and marketing director at Henzell Property Group, said that while the community was designed to appeal to local owner-occupiers and downsizers, exceptional interest has come from interstate buyers seeking to relocate to the Sunshine Coast.

“The Cove has been meticulously designed over a number of years to bring something to market that buyers were calling out for,” Mr Muir said.

“The Covid pandemic is definitely elevating peoples’ plans to move from southern states to Queensland and we’re seeing an increase in enquiries week on week.”

A wave of new waterfront opportunities is now available at Pelican Waters’ prestigious residential precinct The Quays, on the doorstep of an emerging world-class marina and marina village.
Pelican Waters land specialist Jackie Dalton said the boutique, two-storey sites had generated broad appeal among young families, couples and retirees.
“Buyers are drawn to the incredible lifestyle benefits and the freedom of reflecting their individual tastes through contemporary, bespoke home designs,’’ she said.
Six unique waterfront sites are currently on the market ranging in size from 380 sqm to 475 sqm, and priced from $495,000 to $620,000.
“Enquiry for waterfront land has remained strong throughout 2020, and we expect demand to be high for the final remaining land at The Quays. This is likely to be the last land to be released anywhere in Pelican Waters until early next year,’’ Ms Dalton said.
The Quays offers the last available tidal waterfront lots at Pelican Waters, with future waterfront releases to be behind a lock and weir system.
The fully-functioning marina and boatyard will include a boat stacker with 160 spaces for boats up to 10m long plus 125 wet berths catering for vessels up to 13m.
Associated facilities and services will include a boat lift, shipwright, marine mechanics and electricians, anti-fouling service, boat detailing and chandlery plus amenities such as fuelling, sewerage pump, café and users’ lounge.

A six-bedroom trophy home, for sale on the Pelican Waters waterfront, is expected to set a new suburb record of more than $4 million.
Lucas Jeffries, of Henzells Agency, is marketing the property at 6 Rainbow Lane, which he says epitomises the “finest in palatial, resort-style living”.
“This HIA Sunshine Coast Home of the Year occupies a prime 1180 square metre site on prestigious Rainbow Lane including 67 metres of absolute canal frontage and large private pontoon for boating access to Pumicestone Passage and Caloundra Heads,” he said.
“Combining Balinese influences with contemporary coastal sophistication, the home features rich natural timbers and beautiful stonework creating a relaxed, resort-style oasis in one of South East Queensland’s premier water-based communities.”
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/12/20/pelican%20waters%202.jpg" alt="">
Mr Jeffries said offers over $4 million were being sought, which would eclipse the previous residential sales record of $3 million paid for a four-bedroom home on Pelican Waters Boulevard in November.
With 6 Rainbow Lane, Tim Christopher from Christopher Design Group and interior designer, Mark Gacesa of UltraSpace, collaborated to meet the client’s brief of creating the feeling of being on a permanent holiday.
The home features a boardwalk entry, stepping stones and designer pavilion framing a private beach. A network of paths and bridges over pools and ponds enhance the resort-like stylisation of the property.
Highlights include a home theatre, executive office, gymnasium, and 1000 litre marine aquarium.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/12/20/pelican%20waters%203.jpg" alt="">
It also offers a 12-person spa, daybed and garden islands, bar with beer on tap, teppanyaki cooking and dining area, terrace, outdoor lounge and the 14 metre ocean-access pontoon.
The address is located minutes from the Caloundra CBD, and a one-hour commute from Brisbane.
The future Pelican Waters Town Centre and Marina, Greg Norman-designed Golf Course, pristine beaches, University Hospital precinct and a range of quality primary and secondary schools are all within walking distance.
